Look what I found on the beach this morning...

Arabian Gulf sea snake (Hydrophis lapemoides)

Still very much alive! This is what the ARKive website has to say: Prey is caught by means of a swift bite, administering a highly toxic, fast-acting venom, which kills the victim and also breaks down its tissues to aid digestion. Despite the venom being highly toxic to humans, sea snakes are usually placid and present little threat.

Fish traps (gargoor) Traditionally made from palmbranches, these 'modern' ones are made from wire.

and of course a walk on the beach wouldn't be complete without a collection of shells...

AFRICAN FLOWER CHAIN

AFRICAN FLOWER CHAIN

During August and September 2012 I 'planted' 25 African Flowers across South Africa, creating an AFRICAN FLOWER CHAIN. For about a year after that I received messages and photos from these flowers, which I have added to the blog over time. The flowers have now faded and withered away - as is natural for flowers to do, but the memories are still alive. Follow the link in the top menu or in the catagories to read all the stories. If you have seen any of them and still want to send your story - please do so at africanflowerchain@gmail.com
